You have that backwards, actually, but the legacy support in 802.11g
for 802.11b clients does represent a performance hit even in the
absence of b-only clients, so claiming that a and g are equivalent is
only true on paper.

-r (802.11a user before 802.11g, still love the relatively unoccupied
5 ghz spectrum)
